Wood Fence Installation

Classic privacy and natural warmth, built straight, plumb, and ready for Michigan weather.

A wood fence done right

Nothing looks quite like a wood fence. It gives you privacy, frames your yard, and suits just about any Michigan home. US Fence Pro builds shadow box, privacy, semi-privacy, and dog-ear picket styles, most often in cedar, and sets every post in line so the finished fence looks as good as it performs.

Wood is a natural material, so it will weather and change color over time. Sealing or staining new wood is the best way to slow that down. Ask us what we recommend for your fence.

  • Naturally durable species: cedar resists rot and insects better than most woods.
  • Stronger posts: ask about PostMaster Plus galvanized steel posts, which carry a limited lifetime warranty against structural failure.
  • Your choice of style: solid privacy, spaced semi-privacy, shadow box, or classic pickets.
  • Matching gates: walk and drive gates built to match your fence, hung on heavy-duty hardware.

Wood Fence Styles

Every style can be built at the height that fits your yard and your local ordinance.

Most popular

Privacy

Tight-fitting boards for full seclusion around a pool, patio, or entire yard.

Two-sided

Shadow box

Boards alternate on both sides of the rails, so the fence looks finished from both sides and lets a breeze through.

Open feel

Semi-privacy

Spaced boards give you separation and a sense of enclosure without closing the space in.

Classic

Dog-ear picket

The traditional look with rounded-corner (dog-ear) pickets. Great for front yards and pet-friendly borders.

Wood species

Your choice of wood

Through Master Halco we can source northern white cedar, western red cedar, Japanese cedar, Douglas fir, southern yellow pine, redwood, and more.

Hardware

Gates & latches

Heavy-duty hinges and quality latches keep gates square and secure. Ask about gate widths for equipment or vehicles.

We buy from suppliers who publish their specifications and stand behind their products.
